    Refilling Prescriptions

    Hi O peracha Thanks for the good tips. I know those things will work for me because I have used similar tactics in lots of situations. I will start by assigning my belongings to pack locations. And as for the meds I have almost decided to put them in a waterproof waist pocket and wear it 24 hrs...

    Refilling Prescriptions

    Thanks to all for your advice and experiences. I asked the original question thinking the amphetamine might pose a problem even with a written prescription and... It does sound like the best rule to follow will be to assume there are no consistent rules for refilling prescriptions. So I’ll be...

    Refilling Prescriptions

    Can anyone tell me about refilling certain US prescriptions in Spain? I take 3 prescribed medications including an SSRI and an amphetamine. I am planning to bring enough to get me through my full pilgrimage. I also plan to bring written prescriptions if possible, just in case I misplace them...

    Ok I’ll just say it...bladder leaks

    Hi Andpartner That tip is very useful indeed. Not only am I now likely to find the products I need but I may also be able to get a bathtub stopper, a plastic back scratcher, clothes pins, an egg slicer or even some shoe stretchers. I think around here these stores might be called Dollar...

    Ok I’ll just say it...bladder leaks

    Hey Thanks. The way I look at life is this. If you want an answer, you have to ask the question. Oh and don’t take yourself too seriously.

    Ok I’ll just say it...bladder leaks

    Maybe you can check out the ‘Icon’ brand of undies. Their site says their industrial strength version will hold 8 tsps. I will be ordering some today. Ok maybe they are not referred to as industrial strength but you get my point.

    Ok I’ll just say it...bladder leaks

    I will be checking w my doc for sure. However since I have been working on strength training and endurance with a trainer at my gym, my ‘little problem’ has gotten better. At least it seems a little easier to hold it during those moments of urgency. I think it’s the core strengthening that is...

    Ok I’ll just say it...bladder leaks

    Thanks for the tip on the Icon Undies. I’ll be checking on them today.!! Fantastic option. And IMPORTANTLY Thanks for letting folks know that those mid range incontinence pads that you and I are talking about may NOT be easy to find. Just FYI ladies and gent, the pads we are talking about are...

    Ok I’ll just say it...bladder leaks

    Hi Thanks for the tip on the doily town. Ill put it in my notes and make a special effort to go looking. Years ago while in Belgium, I passed by a Saturday class teaching young girls to make bobbin lace. Many girls sat behind a large store front window and I stood watching them work for a...

    Ok I’ll just say it...bladder leaks

    Wait! What?!? Did someone mention crepes? Ok I need more details please! This woman bearing crepes just materialized in front of you while you were on your camino? Did she have wings? a halo? I gotta meet her. Hey I mean, even if she doesn’t have bladder leak pads inside her coat I’d be willing...

    Ok I’ll just say it...bladder leaks

    Well it seems to me Dave, that a faulty hydration reservoir is exactly what I was asking about. If only mine came with on line tech support.

    Ok I’ll just say it...bladder leaks

    Ok now that is good news!!! but I have to admit I will kind of miss meeting the old lady in the alley. Was hoping to score a couple of crocheted doilies in addition to the “products”.

    Ok I’ll just say it...bladder leaks

    Right now I am grateful I have not posted a photo of myself as I would hate to be recognized on el Camino as the one who has “that” problem. Any of you women out there training or walking right now ever experience bladder leaks or shall I say floods after doing a lot of walking? Yah ok I have...
